Human Parvovirus B19 Nonstructural (NS1) Protein Induces Apoptosis in Erythroid Lineage Cells
1 Apr 1998
Abstract excerpt
Infection of erythroid-lineage cells by human parvovirus B19 is characterized by a gradual cytocidal effect. Accumulating evidence now implicates the nonstructural (NS1) protein of the virus in cytotoxicity, but the mechanism underlying the NS1-induced cell death is not known. Using a stringent regulatory system, we demonstrate that NS1 cytotoxicity is closely related to apoptosis, as evidenced by cell...
